CAli/l PmSTOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,565, dated December 23, 1884.

Application led January 80, 1884. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD M. SANDnRs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Concord, in the county 'of Merrimack and State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new, useful, and Improved Camp-Stove, and I hereby declare the following to be a clear and exact description thereof.

The objectof my invention is to supply a portable stove which may be readily taken apart and placed in a small box, of pasteboard or other cheap material, of such size or dimensions as will enable a laboring man t0 carry the same to and from his work without inconvenience.

By reference to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of referen ee indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, the nature of my invention and the manner of constructing the same will be more clearly seen.

`Figure lis a front elevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 8 represents a sectional plan view. Fig. l isa crossA section taken on line Y Y of Fig. 3, showing` the back part .up to said cutting-line.

The entire stove is composed of thin sheetiron, such as is ordinarily used for stove pipes and elbows. The side edges of the bottom A forni the single groove a, as is shown best in Fig. 4, and the back edge, a', is bent up at a right angle, as is shown in Fig. 2, by which means the sides and back of the stove are partially held in place, as Will be subsequently explained. The sides B B,when formed ready for use, may be compared to a shallow pan having open corners, all four edges, b, being bent over to a right angle. The back C has a pipe-hole, c, into which a thimblc, D, is inserted from the inside and fastened thereto by means of rivets, which pass through the ange d and the said sheet-iron back C,- or a short piece of pipe, D', one inch (more or less) in length, may be :fitted to the thimble D and riveted thereto, which will obviate the necessity of rivets in the iiange d. A damper, E, :may be placed either in the short pipe D or in the thimble D, which is shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The top edge of the back C is bent at right angles outward, and the bottom edge is bent at right angles inward. rlhe front F of my improved stove is formed in a similar manner, excepting that in place ofthe pipehole c there is a smaller hole, f, located at such a point as will give the stove proper draft, and a pivoted cover, j", is provided to close the same when desired. The side edges ofthe top G forml the grooves yin the same manner as do thoseof the bottom A; but the front and back edges are left perfectly iiat. A round hole, g', is made in the top G for the purpose of feeding the stove, and the cover H is simply a piece of sheet-iron cut round, and of suicient size to cover said hole. Wire hooks I may be riveted to the sides B B, and when the stove is put together ready for use thesehooks I will enter holes J, made in and through the flanges of the sides B B, which come in Contact with the front and back ot' the stove, and thence th rough said front F and back O, thus holding or fastening the sides to the back and front of the stove in a simple and handy manner.

A stove constructed in the manner described will be found a very handy article by men who have to go a long distance from home to their daily labor-such, for instance, as quarrymen, lu'mbermen, 0r even hunters.

rlhe stove should be about seven inches square and about iive inches in height, and a few twigs or a little shavings will be all the fuel required to heat the contents of a mans dinner-pail; and before leaving for home, by simply slipping the wire hooks I, the stove will all fall to pieces, when the ashes may be shaken off, and the different parts may be piled one above the other and be placed with two lengths of pipe in a clieaplyniade pasteboard box between four and live inches high, and carried by a workman to and from his home without inconvenience. rIhe right-an gle bends given to the top and bottom edges of the front E and the back O serve to stiften the said parts, and also to prevent the escape of ashes, smoke, or heat, but are by no means essential to the perfect operation of the stove.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is*

A portable camp-stove constructed of thin sheet-iron, substantially as described, having joints composed of the single grooves a g and right angles a Z1, hooks I, damper E, draft F, and feedhole g', all constructed and operating as and for the purpose set forth.
